Taylor's Character Arc

Taylor and his cousin Jules head to River Valley University and get him settled into his space.

During his last visit to campus before he becomes an official college student, Taylor's student-host David shows him the video of The Arrival. He makes Taylor a copy and teaches him how to keep things off of the grid, something that will be useful for Taylor later on.

One year later, Taylor hears about the return of the Arrival, and knowing he only has a year left until he joins, he decides to begin his investigation at River Valley University. He visits three times before he goes.

Two years after his sister's disappearance, Taylor hears the story of 5 college students from River Valley who mysteriously disappear off of their campus. He follows the story closely, despite his mother's protests.

Four weeks after going to college, Jackie and 4 other friends disappear off of the campus. Taylor's mother refuses to speak about it, and leaves him with a neighbor for two weeks while she 'mourns'

Jackie goes to college across the US in Texas, much to her mother's delight. She tells Taylor to never lose his curiosity and encourages him to become a journalist major and not live for their mother.

Taylor visits his grandfather with his cousin, Jules, and his aunt, while they're babysitting him for a week. His grandpa tells him the story of the Angel. After Taylor returns him and tells his mother, she cuts off all ties with her sister and tells Taylor he can never talk to his grandpa again.

Taylor's Mom, who also works for the agency, convinces them to allow the kids to grow up without being tested because they don't know which one was injected by the Inhibitor. They agree, but say that any sign of Augmentation will result in them being taken away.

Taylor's father, after discovering The Angel, escapes the complex with 2 Inhibitor syringes. Followed closely by The Agency, he arrives with minutes to spare. He enters Taylor's room the fastest and injects his son with the Inhibitor solution. He realizes he won't have enough time to make it to his daughter Jaquelyns' room, so he makes a break for it, and is killed on the front lawn.
